I've done two centuries this month.

1. Through Macquarie Pass and Berry Mountain.
Distance: 180kms (112 miles)
Time: 8:20
Weather: very hot, up to 38 deg C (humid heat - on the coast)
Climbing: 2580 metres

This was really tough due to the heat and humidity

2. Alpine Classic Extreme - In the Victorian Alps
Distance: 250kms (155 miles)
Time: 12:20
Weather: Great about 10 deg C up to 35 deg C (dry heat - inland quite a way)
Climbing: 4500 metres

This was a superb ride. Very scenic with some very tough sections, but at least there was time between the tough sections to recover. One section was about 10 km at an average of 10%
